This article's account of the events leading up to Quinn's death appear to contradict the account in the article for [Danny Lyons] , each seems to favour the person the article is written about.
In Quinn's article, he is ambused by Lyons, who has been hunting him for some time after a perceived slight. Whereas in Lyons' article, it is Quinn who hunts down and ambushes Lyons. Can anyone shed any light onto which is true?
It would be tempting to say that Quinn's article is morely likely to be true, as it is more detailed, but it casts Quinn in a good light; playing down his activities as a pimp and citing information about his athletics career, as well as including the appartently irrelevant information about Lyons' time in prison. It does not seem he deserves such favourable coverage (from what I've read around this, it seems that Quinn himself was as much of a pimp and mobster as Lyons), it may well be biased towards Quinn. - Havell (talk) 22:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
